In the rain-soaked streets of Heian-kyō, a legend is whispered through the shadows. It was a tale of a Yako kitsune, not the usual playful trickster kind, but one of darkness & malice. His name is Kurogane, the Black Kitsune that had sought chaos throughout the land
Kurogane's reign of terror was marked by his insatiable thirst for power. He instilled fear & sowed discord wherever he went. His cunning mind was unmatched, his strength immeasurable. During the Heian period, his reign of terror was especially brutal
The Heian period was a time of great beauty & refinement, but it was also a time of vulnerability. The delicate balance of power could be easily upset, & Kurogane was eager to exploit this
Often appearing in the form of a handsome young man, charming his way into the hearts of unsuspecting women. Once he had gained their trust, he would reveal his true nature & wreak havoc. If not that, he would cause chaos in the imperial palace masquerading around to cause distrust or when he's really in a bad mood he'll slay left & right randomly for his entertainment with his bloodied claws
